Here is something I came up with while on the way home from work tonight while contemplating (that is what I do, I am a Philosophy nut) a homily given about a month and a half ago at St. Anne in Bartlet. The priest, I can't remember his name, talked about a prayer that he heard said by a kindergartener, it was simply "Thank you God for being God" and I wrote this short poem based on that profound prayer, I hope you enjoy.


"Thank you God for being God"a Matt Hudson original
Thank you God for being God
For everything and everywhere
You made it all, my God
The tallest mountain and the smallest hair

Never outside nor far
But always near.
Never yesterday nor tomorrow,
But always here.

Always everywhere,
In the deepest part of man.
The Great, The Powerful, The Wonderful,
The simply, "I am".

You sanctified the waters,
That we may be made a new.
You gave us Yourself to eat,
That we may abide in You.

Thank you God for being God,
For only You know how.
And that is why I love you God,
Always, forever, but most especially, right now.

Thank you good night and God bless.
